I agree cpendlay...DJ has been my driver of choice since 1997...but he's on a downward spiral now unfortunately becuase of the equipment he's been in the past 3 or 4 years. I haven't given up on him, just added a 2nd driver and that was Tony's rookie year in 1999. After riding in a cup car at 180mph I certainly have alot more insight into what these guys do, and can appreciate each and every one of them even more than I did before.

 

I haven't given up on DJ completely either, I really like him. He's had some tough breaks and of course age gets us all eventually, I do think he is a great announcer and will probably do that full time once he retires. I haven't had the opportunity of a ride but I would have loved to, now I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get in the car...lol...age has caught up with me too. I started following DJ when he was subbing for Irvan in the 28 car having been an EI fan and continued after he got his own Yates ride.
